EXAMINATION 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
• Posterior.
Answer: toward the back of the body
• Anterior.
Answer: towards the front of the body
• Bones, joints, force.
Answer: ___________ are levers, the ___________ are fulcrums, and the
skeletal muscles provide the _____________ to move the bones
• Distal.
Answer: my fingers are ________to my wrist
• Lever.
Answer: A rigid structure such as a board, a crowbar, or a bone, that moves
on a fixed point called the fulcrum.
• 1st class lever.
Answer: fulcrum in the middle; see-saw, scissors; rare Ex: hold head upright
• 2nd class lever.
Answer: Output force is between input force and fulcrum ex: wheelbarrow
Ex: plantar flexion/stand on tip toe
• Proximal.
Answer: My wrist is __________to my fingers
• 3rd class lever.
Answer: range of motion; shovel; the most common Ex: elbow flexion
• Fulcrum.
Answer: The fixed point around which a lever pivots; joints act as fulcrums
, in our bodies
• Force.
Answer: a pull exerted by a muscle to do work
• Deep.
Answer: My skeleton is _________to my skin
• Superficial.
Answer: My skin is __________to my skeleton
• Levers can increase which factors?.
Answer: speed, range of motion, strength
• Synergist.
Answer: A muscle that helps a larger agonist perform its actions more
efficiently. (ex: biceps brachii helps brachialis perform elbow flexion)
• Agonist.
Answer: Prime mover - a muscle that is responsible for a specific
movement. (ex: brachialis is prime mover for elbow flexion)
• Lateral.
Answer: away from the midline
• Antagonist.
Answer: Muscles that oppose or reverse a particular movement (ex: triceps
brachii opposes elbow flexion)
• a.
Answer: Head (body tube)
• b.
Answer: Nosepiece (turret)
• Fixator.
Answer: Muscle that immobilizes a bone to provide a stable base for the
prime mover to act.
• c.
